This recipe, in brief: Really liked the meatballs, wasn’t really into the subs.

Honestly, the subs are fine, they’re just kind of messy and not really worth the effort. But I was glad to find that A) these weren’t too dry, despite using turkey breast (which I’ve avoided throughout the project so far and b) lemon zest is a really nice meatball component.

I was kind of obsessed with getting these at train stations in Japan. It’s kind of a weird dish – a pork cutlet sandwich, served room temperature on white bread – but for some reason it works (and is actually fairly easy to make). We had these with some frozen gyoza.
